Ibiza, Properly: The Superclubs, the Season and How to Plan a Night
Hï vs Ushuaïa vs Pacha vs Amnesia vs DC10: what each Ibiza superclub is for, when the season runs, what tickets cost, where to stay and how to see every party in one place.
The short answer
- 01The club season runs from late April to mid-October; 2026 openings were 24–26 April and closings 9–12 October.
- 02Most superclub nights cost about €30–75 bought online; headline nights and opening/closing parties cost far more.
- 03Each club is a different night: Ushuaïa is open-air and finishes around 23:00; Hï, Pacha, Amnesia, UNVRS and DC10 run overnight.
- 04Playa d'en Bossa is the clubbing base; Ibiza Town has Pacha and the old town; San Antonio has the sunset bars.
- 05Out of season most superclubs are closed — check what's actually on before you book.
- 06ClubLife lists every Ibiza party, residency, ticket and table in one place on the web and in the app.
Ibiza is not one party — it is a calendar. Every superclub runs a weekly schedule of residencies, so the right club depends on which day you're there and what you want to hear. Get it wrong and you'll pay €80 for the wrong night. This guide explains what each club is for and how to plan, with all current residencies and events on ClubLife's Ibiza page.
When to go: the season
The season traditionally runs from the last week of April to mid-October. In 2026 the openings landed on 24–26 April — O Beach Ibiza, Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa Ibiza and UNVRS Ibiza all opened that weekend — and the closing parties ran from 9 to 12 October. June and September offer the full line-ups with slightly lower prices; July and August are the busiest and most expensive months, for clubs and hotels alike.
Visiting out of season?
From mid-October to April most superclubs are closed. ClubLife bases Ibiza venue status on actual scheduled events, so if a club shows no upcoming dates on ClubLife, it isn't open.

Techno vs "popular" clubs in Ibiza
Almost all of Ibiza is electronic, so the real split is between headline, production-heavy shows and underground techno. Ushuaïa Ibiza, Hï Ibiza and Pacha Ibiza are where the household names play, with a more mixed and international crowd. DC10 Ibiza and Amnesia Ibiza are where techno purists go.

What it costs
- Standard superclub nights: roughly €30–75 online in 2026.
- Headline nights: often €80–125+ (for example the biggest weekly residencies).
- Opening and closing parties: frequently €100–200+, and they sell out.
- Drinks: Ibiza is famously expensive — many clubs sell drink packs with tickets.
- Tip: buy online and early. Door prices rise, and the cheapest releases go first.
Where to stay
- Playa d'en Bossa — walk to Hï, Ushuaïa and UNVRS. Best if you came for the clubs.
- Ibiza Town — the old town of Dalt Vila, the marina and Pacha. The most beautiful base.
- San Antonio — sunset bars and O Beach; in summer the Discobus links to the clubs.
- Santa Eulària and the north — quieter; a long way from the clubs.
